Hello - the flasher unit (turn signal/hazard warning flasher) itself is a blue plastic cube (golf ball size) located behind the the "knee panel" just to the left of the steering column. Visually identification is easy (bright blue). Should you wish for assistance however, I recommend a turn signal flasher replacement performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, and replace this component.
